Croteam has released a new update for the PC version of Serious Sam 3. This patch fixes graphics corruption under OpenGL if game is minimized or “alt-tabbed” while it is loading content, other issues that plagued the game’s Steam Workshop, and adds some other stuff about the Serious Editor. The update will be auto-downloaded next time you star the Steam client and you can view its complete changelog below. Enjoy!
Serious Sam 3 Update Changelog:
